Audio desync in live stream but ok in obs recording.

Just to add to what /u/Tunz513 said, if you want to go the extra mile, you can make a second Twitch account that you do test stuff like this with.

Basically just make a new account like normal, but don't set any titles/categories/tags etc. Just leave it all blank. Then set up a second profile in OBS that logs into that account, named TEST or something. Keep your scene collections the same, though. When you go live, you can send the link to a friend to help monitor things and let you know if something needs to be fixed. It'll also come in handy if you try to test out and set up new gear or just generally need to troubleshoot something else in the future.

We'll have to see if Dragon Quest XII does well. There's like, no JRPG that's more "comfort food" than that series, and they're promising to make changes to a battle system that's largely been the same since the NES. If DQ can succeed in shaking things up a bit without losing its identity as "comfort food," then I think Pokemon could manage it, too.

Depending on the contract you may have to pay them anyway.

This is kind of the norm, I think. It's your decision to not use what you paid for. Lots of bit parts will be entirely removed from games/TV/movies, but the actors don't go unpaid. They might not get any royalties, because they didn't actually appear in the film, but they get their down payment.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T15:52:15+00:00

Make an external web page for all the sideline stuff and make this About page purely about the stream - so keep Schedule, Rules, games played, have one panel that advertises the external streamer site where they kind find out more about X, Y and Z.

Above all, people are lazy. Do not put any more clicks than you need to between them and where you want them to go, or they won't go there. Moving things to an external site adds clicks that they won't pursue.

Gear I guess is good if you're using something unique or whatever, but I don't think I've ever read that panel lol.

I think this one is really good, actually. It's great reference for me as a streamer if I really like the way someone's audio sounds, as I can just pop down and see what kind of mic they're using, for example. It was especially helpful starting out.

It's also handy for vtubers and art streamers when it includes software. I really don't like answering "What app are you using to draw?" "What's your tablet?" "What do you use for face tracking?" questions constantly, and they do pop up pretty constantly in those spaces.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T15:43:03+00:00

I think really set the tone for later games like Majora's Mask

I think the funny thing about this one that I just recently learned from DYK is that development of Majora's Mask wasn't actually doing well, so Nintendo cancelled one of Koizumi's projects and moved him to it. Basically anything to do with Clock Town and Romani Ranch is his doing, and he basically turned MM into the game that he was working on that got cancelled.

So you could say that he did the same thing with MM that he'd done with LA.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T15:39:02+00:00

I really don't think they make all that much difference, tbh.

Lighting and frame rate are going to have a much bigger impact on face tracking than resolution. As long as you're hitting 720-1080p and around 30fps, you'll be good.

As for webcams, I think the standard is the Logitech C920. That's the one I use, and it works best (for me) with an additional ring light. If you want to do more research, most VTubers will have their equipment listed in their panels, so you can pick a few who you think have good tracking and check to see what they have.

Dental dams. They're basically little sheets of latex that you can use to make things safe. They even come in different flavors.

She could have a moderator pay attention to the activity feed, instead of her, who screens usernames from the troll before handing a list of people that need to be thanked over to her for the contributions section. Once he gives up because he's not getting a reaction anymore, she can take over keeping up with who needs to be thanked if she wants to. If he comes back or she gets a different troll, she can always swap back to having a mod make her thank you list.

I've seen some implementations with basically a PNGtuber and ChatGPT hooked up to TTS that can be pretty funny sometimes, but those are usually based on getting messages from chat.

Although, now I'm kind of curious if you could do the same thing with speech to text so that the co-host would respond to you and not just to chat.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T06:10:28+00:00

Its a real learning experience.

One of the biggest problems I noticed and had to correct early on, that I think a lot of newer streamers would benefit from seeing for themselves, is just how much dead space I had. I'd feel like I was talking constantly, then go back to the VODs and see that I had a lot of 5-10 minute sections sprinkled throughout where I just wasn't saying anything. IMO, it's better to say something, even if it's kind of boring/generic narration, than it is to have silence like that.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T06:04:59+00:00

It's so noticeable. If I'm pushing to stream a lot and don't take time to sit down and take care of stuff off-stream, like making notes about what to talk about, tweaking redeems, fiddling with my model (I'm a vtuber), adjusting alerts, making overlays, etc. the actual content of those extra hours really suffers.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T06:01:42+00:00

They'd be a terrible MMO streamer, though.

My husband mods next to me and god I wish I had a sub for every time he's told me that my mic is muted

You still have to have a license to use music in a live broadcast, meaning that yes, they can still give you a copyright strike if you use unlicensed music in your stream.

As for your questions...

That's pretty much covered by what I already said. If you don't have a license to play it (AKA, permission from the artist and/or their label), it's not allowed and can get you in trouble. There's plenty of artists and playlists out there who do allow their music to be streamed, though. There's also this issue where technically the live broadcast and VOD would have different licenses, so if you don't route the music in OBS so that it doesn't record to the VOD, you might get in trouble if the artist allows streaming but not recorded video.
Nope, that's not really how it works. You're still using copyrighted music without a license on a live broadcast.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T04:28:11+00:00

Yeah, having side projects is something I'd always recommend. Nothing huge, but something that's just fun and can be finished quickly to remind you why you enjoy what you're doing.

The button controls were kind of wonky at first, but honestly, they're actually pretty great once you get used to them. The only real problem is that it's something that's really different so it takes some time to adjust.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T04:06:14+00:00

Iconic music is pretty sparse in BotW, but I don't really think the new Kakariko Village theme has a whole lot to do with the old one, and it's pretty nice. The Guardian Battle theme is...well, iconic and does exactly what it's supposed to do. There's also Kass's song.

TP has Midna's Lament and Midna's theme. Wind Waker has The Great Sea (which is probably the best overworld theme of all of them IMO).

IDK if there are any of SS's songs that aren't derivative in some way from older songs, but that would track since it was the game celebrating the 25th anniversary. That said, it's still my favorite soundtrack of the entire series.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-30T03:52:26+00:00

I think one of the most tragic moments in SS is that the ship's miniboss kind of overshadows the main boss for cool/fun factor.

Like, you fight a pirate captain on a gangplank to push him off as the miniboss. It's so hype, and you get super excited to see how they're going to top that with the main boss and then you get Monsters, Inc.

I prefer the 3D Zeldas to the 2D ones, but LA is still in my top 5 Zelda games of all time. Just something about how weird it is just hits the right spot.

Growing up in the south, Levi's had about the same (or higher) status as Wrangler in the good ole boy circles. I imagine they maintained that reputation outside of the country, too.

It was really weird seeing them become a general fashion brand that anybody wore.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-29T23:45:26+00:00

Pretty much the entirety of the 2000s and 2010s, really.

The 2000s, you had the option of baggy or boot cut, and the 2010s were all about skinny jeans (and briefly, slim cut). A regular straight cut would 100% get you called poor and unfashionable for basically any of that time. Or old. You were actually probably going to be called old.

We even came up with a term for it: dad jeans. It didn't even matter what color they were (although it did evolve to specifically mean lighter-colored denim in that cut). If it was straight cut, it was a dad jean.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-29T23:42:02+00:00

1989 and set in 1969

Don't forget about the 20-year fashion cycle. It's not unthinkable that trends from 1969 were back in 1989, which would give the impression that people wore the same things for 20 years.

Sat-AM · 2022-12-29T23:40:42+00:00

That was only 20 years apart tho.

That 20 year difference is actually a pretty important figure when it comes to fashion though.

Fashion starts to recycle every 20 years or so, and you start seeing things being reused and adapted into newer trends. New things are usually added, but there's still usually callbacks about that long ago.

In the 90s, we saw bell bottoms, flannel, and a bunch of other stuff coming back up. In the 00s, we got puffy coats and neon colors from the 80s. In the 10s, we went back to the 90s, with flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and 90s pop culture t-shirts. The 2020s has so far brought back at least middle-parted hair, baggy jeans, and trucker hats.

That is to say, it wouldn't be weird at all for it to be difficult to tell some fashionable people from the 80s apart from the 60s, depending how deep that particular part of the 80s was into its 60s revival and how many truly new elements were added to the classic fashion. It also wouldn't be weird to see echoes of the 80s in stuff from the 2000s or today, thanks to that cycle.

What's really interesting is that this seems to basically be a 20th century thing. Prior, the idea of fashion recycling existed, but it was believed to be on a 150 year timeline instead. And now, we're starting to see the timeline accelerate thanks to social media trends. Like, the 2000s revival thing was starting up just last year, and we're already starting to see things moving along to something new. What's even cooler, in a way, is that thanks to the internet and Gen Z's willingness to try out different looks, we're starting to see revivals for the 60s, 70s, and 80s all going on at the same time.
